spider mics


i found a huge beetle last night in my room.. not super huge, but fairly huge.. and so anyway i wanted it to go but it just wanted to sit there. so it sat there and i had to do something about it. so i picked up the closest record sleeve, ironically a hybrid record (i guess the chances are good) named “if i survive” and the little guy climbed on it. i walked into the hallway and turned to turn the lights on in the basement and i looked at the record and he was gone!
hey spyguy
.. oops, wrong window.. i think i’ll keep that though.. i am hanging out in IRC on #proghouse and he’s in there. soon we’ll be living in the same city and plotting with our spare time.
i got the new spider mics from tammie and gerry. these things are freakin’ awesome. i have a feeling i will be using them a lot more in vancouver. cool!
well, i am going to go. i just wanted to post .. something. didn’t really matter what. i am very low energy today after a particularly challenging week. word.

a face in the crowd


Before all of this ever went down
In another place, another town,
You were just .. a face in the crowd
Out in the street .. walking around
A face in the crowd..
Out of a dream, out of the sky
Into my heart, into my life
And you were just .. a face in the crowd
Out in the street .. thinking out loud
A face in the crowd.

it’s been a rather nutty last week.. i am going to try and make up for lack of sleep by going to sleep “early” tonight .. which means before midnight for me.

i am having a going away party with pete (who is also going away) on the last wednesday of this month. if you are interested, leave a comment.. bye!

i found a place to live!

  1. krishen and i checked out 34 places in two days in the west end and north vancouver.
  2. we found a fantastic place in north vancouver, with a wicked view of the city. sweet action. it is on a bus route to work, and 5 blocks from my brother anand. pwnage. the damage deposit is paid and i take over a 6 month lease on October the 1st.
  3. happy birthday charles!
  4. happy birthday rishi!
  5. i sort of omitted that i was going to go see a concert last night in vancouver. i did. sarah mclachlan was incredible — the last show of her world tour. i got a “fashion poster” after the show. hawt! that’ll definitely go up in the new place.
  6. go team canada! see ya czechs!
  7. i have not forgotten about the photogroffee pix. i will most likely post them tomorrow as i only have a bit of time right now to hang out with all of my brothers before we once again split up to opposite corners of north america.
  8. bye!

an amazing night. i can’t remember hush ever feeling like that. hybrid really rocked out. my favorite part of their set had to be when they dropped their own remix of REM. totally amazing.
wow.
this was the first time i can remember feeling nervous before a gig in many many years. i love that feeling. why did it go away?
ears still ringing..

hush hush












what an awesome night at hush. braeden played an inspired set, and everyone could tell. at the peak of the night, braeden dropped my newest production, one that i made in one sitting, a track dedicated to brent carmichael named “carmichael.” have a look at this 30 second video of the end of the breakdown of the tune dedicated to brent. tomorrow night.. or later today.. i am spinning with Hybrid. what an honour indeed. to quote the specmeister, see you on the dancefloor. doors open at 9 PM!
